The present disclosure relates to compositions capable of absorbing UVA and UVB light. In particle, the present disclosure relates to UV screening compositions comprising at least a portion of LITE-1 polypeptides which are capable of absorbing UV light (e.g., UV-A and/or UV-B light).

A method of producing a bioproduct from a sea cucumber wherein the steps of weighing the sea cucumbers, cleaning the sea cucumber, and milling the sea cucumber in a milling machine for creating a sea cucumber pulp may be performed. Further, the processing of the sea cucumber pulp in a multi-step hydrolysis membrane reactor may be completed for the formation of an unfiltered bioproduct. Such a product may need filtering through an ultrafiltration membrane system to obtain a filtered bioproduct. Followed by inactivation of the protease to create a filtered bioproduct, to which drying may then be needed. The final step may be the application of the filtered bioproduct to a relevant industrial use may be described herein.

The present disclosure is directed to methods and compositions for improving skin appearance and health. In some aspects, a method of conditioning the skin is provided comprising applying a microdermabrasion composition to the skin, applying a regenerative cosmeceutical composition to the skin, and treating with a nutricosmetic composition. The present disclosure also provides kits comprising compositions for improving skin appearance and health.

The present invention relates to a method for separating and purifying melittin (Mn), apamin (Ap), mast cell degranulation (MCD) peptide and other components present in bee venom (BV). The method allows the beneficial components of the venom to be retained in the purified BV substance and allergens to be eliminated, using ultrafiltration and silica gel chromatography. The combination of the two techniques eliminates allergenic and harmful components, such as the enzymes phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and hyaluronidase (HYA), and a purified substance (referred to as “PDA”) is obtained from the venom. The invention also relates to an anti-ageing cosmetic product comprising the purified substance, wherein the cosmetic product is selected from a cosmetic serum.

The present invention relates to a sunscreen cosmetic for application to a user's skin. The sunscreen cosmetic is provided with a mineral including zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, or a combination of both. The sunscreen cosmetic also includes a high buffering-capacity agent configured to react with an external acidic source coming in contact with the cosmetic and to inhibit release of zinc ions from the zinc oxide and/or to inhibit release of titanium ions from the titanium dioxide.
